The City of Long Beach is developing its first-ever Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), and we want you to be a part of the process. The CAAP will help to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, prepare the community for the impacts of climate change, improve the quality of life, and enhance economic vitality in Long Beach. Long Beach strives to be a more sustainable and resilient city in the face of climate change impacts such as air pollution, extreme heat, drought, coastal storm surge, and sea level rise.

The CAAP will provide a framework for creating or updating policies, programs, practices, and incentives for Long Beach residents and businesses to reduce the City's GHG footprint, and ensure the community and physical assets are better protected from the impacts of climate change. Engaging those who live, work, and play in Long Beach is essential to creating an effective and successful CAAP. Residents, business owners, students, and other community stakeholders are encouraged to get involved by providing input and sharing ideas, priorities, and solutions to help establish and achieve the City's climate goals.
The City has released the proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP)! The proposed plan will be considered by the Long Beach City Council, on January 5, 2021, after which the CEQA review process will take place. Final adoption is anticipated Fall 2021, after completion of the environmental review.
Long Beach CAAP:
The previous draft plan was released on June 1, 2019. Community and agency feedback on the draft plan informed edits to the proposed plan.
